Memorable Movie Music

How do I define great movie music? In this case, I have to be able to recognize and remember its origin. It's worked out that the music is also original - if it's not then I don't associate it with the movie.

Anywhoo, for this post I have two memorable movie music themes. Actually, they're the only ones that currently come to mind and they both happen to star the same actor, Harrison Ford. They are the main themes from Star Wars and the Indiana Jones series. Whenever I hear either one I instantly recognize it for what it is. I guess what at least in part contributes to making them memorable is that they're part of great movies (as an aside, when I think of good Star Wars I think original Episodes IV - VI, only).
